Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss

Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss marks the conclusion of the eponymous research project led by Prof Ute Meta Bauer. Extending connections and conversations seeded during the inaugural TBA21–Academy’s The Current programme, with the first three-year cycle led by Bauer (2015–17), Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss continues to strengthen archipelagic networks, bridging conversations from the Pacific to Singapore in the Riau Archipelago. Video interviews, photographic documentation, filmic works, texts and data visualisations by former The Current fellows and current research collaborators share the exhibition space with artisanal crafts generous gifted by knowledge bearers and community leaders from the Pacific, exploring the impacts of extreme weather, rising seas, climate displacement, ocean resource extraction, and the disappearance of material culture traditions occurring across “our sea of islands” as it is called by visionary Pacific thinker Epeli Hau’ofa.
